Lara Logan returns to '60 Minutes'

Lara Logan is officially back to work at "60 Minutes" after a seven-month leave of absence, CBS News spokesperson Sonya McNair confirmed.

“Lara Logan has returned to work," McNair said in an email.

Logan and her producer Max McClellan took leave following public pressure over an Oct. 27 report in which security contractor Dylan Davies claimed to have been present and active at the Sept. 11, 2012, raid on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi. Reports later indicated that Davies had told both his contractor and the FBI that he was not present at the compound on the night of the attack. Logan later apologized, and "60 Minutes" retracted the story.

David Brock, chairman of Media Matters, which has been actively pushing against the Benghazi report, slammed the move in a statement.

"The flawed 60 Minutes report on Benghazi permanently damaged the credibility of both the show and of CBS. A New York magazine report made clear that a lion's share of the blame for massive errors in that report belongs to Lara Logan," Brock said. "CBS indicated that they were serious about rebuilding its brand and taking accountability. Having Logan back on 60 Minutes shows the exact opposite."
